Nick Griffin is definitely confirmed as coming to speak at a meeting in Barnsley this Thursday. The meeting is in The Fleets, Smithies Lane Barnsley S71 1NL. The meeting is due to start at 7.30pm but they expect people to start arriving at 7pm. We are calling a protest to start at 6.30 outside the Fleets.
We will assemble a little bit away from the pub, round the corner on Rockingham Street, at 6.15pm.
The pub landlord is beginning to feel the pressure. Many of you have phoned up and told them that we do not want a racist, a holocaust denier, a hater of gays and lesbians to be given a public platform in Barnsley. The phone number for The Fleets is 01226 243678. Please phone and protest against Nick Griffin, a holocaust denier, speaking to a meeting organised by nazis. If you do not want them to contact you back then dial 141 before you dial the number.
Please phone The Fleets and please try to get along to the protest on Thursday. If you need more information on the night phone 0798 502 8003.

The BNP in Barnsley. Not likely.

The Far Right needs the finance. Otherwise the BNP will collapse into faction fighting again. The signs are already there. The Joey Owen comments about who is and who is not trustworthy is just the tip of a very big iceberg. Its Back to the Third Position and the New Britain Party (Deregisted, November 2008 - so the name is now free) all courtesy of the strategists at the Swinton Club.
There is a party within a party. Some would say its taking Tory Action to the extreme.

I have no objection if people want to use physical force once the nazis are out & about but it's better to not have them out in the first place.

Yes, however...

Venues are also less excited with hosting the likes of the BNP if the threat of militant action is threatened, as we can see with the Derbyshire police trying to prevent the RWB happening there again this year.

How many anti fascists turned up?
I will answer , about fifty, the meeting went ahead with about 300 in attendance, Griffin gave his speech.
The anti fascists had to put up with local kids taking the piss out of them.
No sign of class war, although I did here antifa made a very quick appearance, shouting out of a passing van traveling at the speed of light, so no one heard what they said.
Anitifa not that keen to meet the fash in person it seems.

Barnsley anti-BNP protest fails

Their numbers were that low (around 60) the police didn't even think their demo qualified to being moved closer to the venue due to the small numbers. Instead they were left taking abuse from locals who didn't want a bunch of leftie wimps and gimps making a racket on their streets. Young local kids were riding past on bikes shouting at the anti-BNP protesters with classic lines such as "fuck off" and "wankers" and "queer cunts". The stupid anti's were left looking bewildered and lost as their pitiful turnout totally backfired on them as even the locals who they thought would come out and join them made their way straight past laughing and hurling abuse as they made their way to the venue to enjoy a speech by Mr Griffin.
The shame these dullards must have felt is unimaginable. Nationalism is strong in Barnsley and the people of Barnsley have made it quite clear that ANTIFASH is NOT welcome in South Yorkshire.
there's a video as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMCqyI90EkU

What these clowns don't realise is what people are thinking outside of the lefty protests. Its all very well turning up to a protest and agreeing with each other. But, most people who live around me are pretty much against the current immigration policies - its too lax. The views of the 60million should outweight the views of a few thousand protestors. Otherwise, whats the whole point of democracy? Anything else is saying democracy is bad and we should be living in a dictatorship.
